The irony: a video of the show, seen by The Indian Express, shows that those two words were read out by V V Rajesh, BJP state secretary, while quoting from pamphlets that he claimed were distributed on the JNU campus and later produced in Parliament by HRD Minister Smriti Irani.

See the pattern? (I know I keep banging on about this. And I will continue to, because this trend is dangerous): Start a rumor. Amplify rumor. Outrage over “hurt sentiments”. Abuse. Threaten (and if possible, perpetuate) violence. Get caught out. Rinse, repeat elsewhere.
